Art Show

We had a great year, with more artists and more attendees than ever before.
We had 1457 for-sale and 43 not-for-sale originals, and 2139 copies of 457 prints, on 123 panels and 26 tables. Of these, we sold 398 originals and 568 prints for a total of $30,753 plus tax. Out of 91 artists with work for sale, 79 sold work.
Sales per panel ranged from $0 to $650 with a median of $100 and an average of $206.40.
Original sold piece prices ranged from $2 to $2000 with a median of $25 and an average of $51.39. Print sold piece prices ranged from $1 to $120 with a median of $15 and an average of $17.98.
Artist checks were mailed on February 17.

Located in the Harbor Ballroom on the east side of the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, Arisia's art show will feature work by our Artist Guest Stephanie Law and 94 other artists, hung salon style on 500 linear feet of portable wall space. Subject matter includes science fiction, fantasy, space, and other speculative subjects, in a wide variety of media. Most work is for sale, and prints are available of many works.

The entry period for the Art Show space lottery is over, but we are still accepting waiting list entries.
There is a small hanging fee, but no commission is charged on sales.
Unlike most other science fiction convention art shows, sales at Arisia 2017 will be at fixed price only.
More information is available on the rules and fees page.

Arisia Art Show 2016 sales statistics are available on the 2016 website.
